I hate the guy (one of the most smug, deplorable human beings around), but most of these convictions won't stand. The kidnapping charge is bogus; he said "Don't let nobody out of the room," which formed the basis of that charge. I'd convict him in the court of poor grammar, but to say that constitutes kidnapping (warranting perhaps life in prison) is absurd. It was a comment made in the heat of the moment, during a planned armed robbery. He wanted his memorabilia back, and the plan was to charge in with guns and get the stuff back. Period. That's armed robbery (a serious crime nonetheless).
He'll end up serving 5-10 years at the absolute worst. It isn't OJ's fault that he was acquitted the first time; that was the judicial system's failing. No appeals judge worth his salt will let all these felony convictions stand, or it will add yet another scar to our already tarnished judicial system. Two wrongs don't make a right.
That being said, I would throw a party were he to get "eliminated" while in prison.
EDIT:
Kidnapping explanation from Wikipedia
"In criminal law, kidnapping is the taking away or asportation of a person against the person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. This is often done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime. A majority of jurisdictions in the United States retain the "asportation" element for kidnapping, where the victim must be confined in a bounded area against their will and moved. Any amount of movement will suffice for the requirement, even if it is moving the abductee to a house next door. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, however, the asportation element has been abolished. Note that under early English common law, the asportation element required that the victim be moved outside the realm of England or overseas in order for an abduction to be considered "kidnapping"."
So, I suppose that Nevada has abolished the asportation aspect of kidnapping. In other words, OJ had no clue he was kidnapping anyone.
